Hi @John Michael Sunga

Could you please share your code in a text format, so I can review it and provide some feedback?

Also, if you are trying to connect to an external REST Service, I suggest using this Adaptavist Library example.

I am looking forward to your feedback.

Thank you and Kind regards,
Ram

Hi @John Michael Sunga

For your requirement, you should instead try using a GET request instead of a POST request.

Below is a sample code for your reference:-

import groovy.json.JsonOutput
import groovyx.net.http.ContentType
import groovyx.net.http.HttpResponseDecorator
import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient

final externalUrl = "https://www-mbl-test:11443"

def getResponse = get(externalUrl, '/api/jwt/login', '')

if (getResponse) {
    def responseGetMap = getResponse as Map
    responseGetMap
}

def get(def hostUrl, def endpoint, def query) {
    if (hostUrl.toString().contains('&') || hostUrl.toString().contains('?')) {
        log.error 'The parameters of the endpoint must be included in the query variable'
        return
    }
    def username = '<YOUR_USERNAME>'
    def password = '<YOUR_PASSWORD>'

    def client = new RESTClient(hostUrl)
    def headers = ['Authorization': "Basic ${"${username}:${password}".bytes.encodeBase64()}", 'Accept': 'application/json'] as Map
    client.setHeaders(headers)

    client.handler.success = { HttpResponseDecorator response, json ->
        log.warn "======>>>> ${response.statusLine}"
        log.warn "======>>>> ${json}" 
        json
    }
    client.handler.failure = { HttpResponseDecorator response ->
        log.error response.entity.content.text
        [:]
    }
    client.get(path: endpoint, queryString: query, contentType: ContentType.JSON )
}

Please note that the sample code above is not 100% exact to your environment. Hence you will need to make the required modifications.

Thank you and Kind regards,
